Do you need Lyno?
* Are you struggling with chronic pain?
* Is chronic stress causing aches in your body?
* Is a recurring injury preventing you from performing?
* Have you reached a plateau in your sport?
* Is your lack of mobility impairing your function?
* Does your body feel the effects of old emotional trauma?
* Has your posture deteriorated over time?
* Do you feel trapped in your body?
* Do you struggle with a chronic condition like fibromyalgia?
* Do you want to grow old without losing function or mobility?
All the latest research is pointing to the fact that chronic pain and recurring injuries is caused by unresolved physical and emotional trauma which is trapped in the body, and specifically in the fascia.
Restrictions in fascia mobility cause non-alignment and dysfunctional movement, resulting in overload and wear and tear.
Our full body assessment shows us exactly where movement is blocked, and enables us to facilitate the release of old trauma to bring the body and mind back to balance and full function.am.
Why LYNO
The Lyno Method is a complimentary health modality that uses a holistic assessment to identify the areas in the body where unresolved physical and emotional trauma cause restrictions in fascia mobility; the cause of chronic pain and recurring injuries. Our soft and gentle technique, combined with active movement and breathing, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, specifically through the Polyvagal Structure and facilitates the release of these fascia restrictions, restoring the neural pathways necessary for optimum function.
The FROM TEST consists of 50 different tests of all the major movements of the body. The test is performed at the beginning of each Lyno session, and leads us straight to the areas of fascia restriction and where unresolved trauma is stored in the body. Fascia restrictions cause entrapment and dysfunction of all the structures embedded in the area, including muscles, tendons, joints, neural and vascular tissue and visceral organs, resulting in chronic pain and recurring injuries.
The BUNKIE TEST consists of 5 different tests to measure core function. We use this test specifically in cases where optimum body function is required for example with sport clients. The plank positions used in this test, points to the 4 linear lines and the results show the effect of fascia restrictions on functionality. Clients are required to hold each position for 30 seconds and we score each test as soon as we notice any compensation in form or if the client experiences any form of discomfort.
A digital scoring and analysing tool
The LYNO APP provides us with a digital goniometer to measure the FROM TEST and a timer to score the BUNKIE TEST. The scores are analysed with built-in algorithms and transformed into a treatment plan which guides the practitioner to the exact areas or patterns of fascia restriction. The Fascia Mobility Profile gives the client a clear indication of the extent of their immobility. The APP offers our practitioners a highly scientific and professional approach to therapy and the unidentifiable data provides an unlimited source for research
Fascia Release
The LYNO technique targets the parasympathetic nervous system to facilitate the release of unresolved trauma. With a light stroke over skin or a thin layer of clothing, combined with gentle breathing and active movement of the muscles in the area, we aim to increase the tone of the Vagus nerve, which is essential in the process of healing. Diminished tone of the Vagus nerve, causes the body to remain in the survival mode of fight, flight and freeze and leads to chronic pain, disease and injuries.
The YELLOW PAGE WEDGE tool was originally developed in the 80’s by the late Dr Ron Holder, chiropractor and applied kinesiologist, to balance athletes who struggled with chronic injuries due to non-alignment. The method is based on the activation of the proprioceptors, the neuroceptors which informs the brain of the position of the body in relation to the centre of gravity. Fascia restrictions cause non-alignment of the body and dysfunctional movement. By using this technique, we manipulate the proprioceptors by placing thin paper wedges under specific parts of the feet to create alignment and balance. We use the technique only in the early stages of LYNO as it becomes unnecessary once the fascia restrictions disappear.

About
After qualifying as a clinical massage therapist, Kerry went into medical repping. She always had a fascination with the connection between the mind, body and spirit. Kerry battled with shin splints after running the Two Oceans Ulra Marathon and made them worse by running Comrades Ultra Marathon while injured. After trying various options, she found that fascia release and the yellow pages wedge worked well for her. This was when she decided to further her studies with Kinesiology and the Lyno Method, wanting to help more people reach their full potential in sports with better movement while balancing their mind, body and soul. .
Testimonials
First of all, compression boots work. I tried them for the first time at a relay endurance run from Johannesburg to Durban (nonstop) and thought they felt amazing. That was nothing compared to how well they work after a run or race. Following my ultra trail racing, they have definitely helped speed my recovery. Yes, they are a bit on the pricey side (but check out the prices of their competitors’ products). However, if you are a serious athlete, this product will definitely help speed your recovery by alleviating your soreness faster. Even my wife–who is a huge skeptic when it comes to fitness technology or gadgets–had to admit that her legs felt better after using them following a super hard spin workout.
As good as the Medi-Ativ product itself is, their customer service is even better. Putting honesty over making a sale is a rare quality these days. I will trumpet this company’s praises and products far and wide.
Recovery is by far the most important part of training, and if there is one tool on the market to help you recover faster, this is it.

Medi-Aktiv started when I used compression boots when I had shin splints training for Comrades’ and I really wanted other athletes to benefit from them. The recovery helped me finish Comrades with shin splints. Medi-Aktiv’s pneumatic compression system is used to assist in the healing time of injuries, so that athletes recover faster, the treatment of lymphedema, venous insufficiency, non-healing wounds, and other circulation related issues,
It works by using pressure on the lower limbs to boost blood circulation and keep lymph flowing through the body and draining the toxins and metabolic wastes from the body, aiding athletes in faster recovery. Consistent blood flow aids in the relaxation of muscles, which is particularly useful for people who suffer from mobility issues or recovering from other medical conditions.
Compression therapy can be used to help reduce the likelihood of spider veins and varicose veins. This includes people who are overweight or lead a sedentary lifestyle, those required to sit or stand for long periods, women who are pregnant, and anyone with a family history of venous disease. Compression therapy also plays an important role in aiding your recovery from treatments for eliminating varicose veins.

“I am a pharmacist and spend long hours on my feet. I also have oedema in my ankles and feet. Medi-Aktiv after 30mins reduces the swelling and gets helps remove the water retention so my feet don’t feel so heavy “
Jill
Pharmacist
I went over my ankle on the 23rd of December, while running in the garden. Everyone thought I had to go to the hospital as it was that bad.
I pulled all the muscles around the outside of my ankle, the muscles up both sides of my leg to my calf and the muscles in my foot.
I iced 3 times a day with anti inflammatories. I started using the Medi-Aktiv recovery boots system on the 27th of December, twice a day for 2 weeks. I then started seeing a biokineticist at beginning January. They were surprised at how fast I had recovered.
I did a 13km run and a hike of 12km the following week. I did a 21km run in 2 hours and felt strong.
I know that the Medi-Aktiv recovery boots system had definitely helped me get to where I got to in such a short space of time.
